No dear, Your fat makes you look fat. I would ask myself the same question, then I remember I’m a MAN! I wear carpenter pants. Not only because I’m a carpenter but because I can conceal a spare mag in the left leg pocket and my phone in one of the right leg pockets. This gives me more room around my ever enlarging mid area. My 229 rides in a hand crafted original design IWB. It starts too get too tight with anything more than the Sig. What are you packing underneath that loose fitting shirt? Shoot out a pick with the shirt raised. Maybe first put on an undershirt. 🙂
If you wear the MTAC holster you can tuck the t-shirt in and no one will notice that you’re carrying. You can go to SOG knives website and order a a clip on knife pouch to carry a spare magazine. I have a medium pouch for my Beretta compact mag, a large for my Sigpro 40 mag and an extra large for my full size Beretta mag. Nobody ever checks to see what is in the knife pouch! I carry a second mag in a Nemesis mag pouch in my front pocket. I am planning to buy a Texas IWB magazine carrier from Adams holsters. When you have to go someplace you can’t carry like the post office you can easily pull everything off and leave your gear in your car. And tucking the shirt in doesn’t make you look like a total slob.
Move the gun back just a little bit, so it sits just behind your hipbone. The turns the butt of the gun more toward your back and reduces the profile from a front view. You have to practice drawing from there, but it reduces printing.
Consider a different T-shirt. I buy what is called a “long-tailed T” from Duluth Trading Company. Get a couple to try. They are 3 inches longer than a standard t-shirt, without being bigger everywhere else.

Was the codpiece necessary?

No, the over-eating does, though.

Are those tacticool pants I see?
September 7th, 2010 at 1:22 pm
no, just old navy shorts.

Well, you do have quite a few spare mags …

You look like a dork. A slightly porky dork.

Looks like you have good birthing hips! ; ]

I’d go with a darker t-shirt; Makes me less paranoid about printing when I’m wearing a darker tee.
